However, when I blip the throttle it seem to hang around 1500 rpm (don't have Tach) for a half second prior to settling to idle. This is pretty consistent. I know half a second isn't...

I’ve got a CV carb on my 58 panhead Harley. I’ve had it on the bike for about 7 years, but the bike was apart for the last 1 &1/2 years. When I first put it on the bike, it started much easier (important on a kick start only bike)

Since I put it back together the cold starts have been difficult. Last time I rode it leaked gas from the air cleaner when parked. Since the only thing I didn’t do while the bike was apart was clean/rebuild the carb, I decided that it’s time to do so.

The bike...

I'm afraid my shovel is going to be down for a while, boys. Was riding yesterday and lost power to the front cylinder. Limped along enough to get off the road, maybe a quarter mile. After getting the ol' thang towed home by a buddy, saw that the exhaust tappet roller had disintegrated. Took out all the tappets and discovered that the intake tappet roller (also on the front cylinder) was nicked and scratched. The other two tappets look ok.

The needle bearings (all...

Not to forget the -23 degree cold snap that last about 8 days and caused mecall kinds of grief because someone did not shut the garage door all the way and the fuel heat gelled....
